Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
51 initiatives correspond to information and communication technologies (ICT) in the report’s IAP mapping (ECLAC, 2025).
33.1 was the external relative labor productivity index for Manufacturing in LAC versus the EU (EU=100) in 2023 (ECLAC, 2025).
This study evaluates the effect of different bio-ferments on the morphology and quality of cacao (Theobroma cacao L.) seedlings under nursery conditions. Treatments were compared based on parameters such as height, stem diameter, number of leaves, and seedling quality. The results show significant improvements in growth when bio-ferments are applied, highlighting their potential as an agroecologic...
A study of 159 Gyr crossbred dairy cows under tropical conditions in Peru compared two estrus synchronization protocols (conventional PC9 vs. extended J-Synch6) for follicular timed induction (FTAI) and evaluated their relationship with heat stress index (THI) in seven critical phases of the program. Both protocols showed similar estrus and pregnancy rates, but J-Synch6 produced larger preovulator...
This study phenotypically characterizes 74 wild accessions of Myrciaria dubia (camu camu) from the INIA ex situ germplasm bank to identify variability relevant for genetic improvement, conservation, and sustainable use programs. Morphological, physical, and fruit quality characteristics were evaluated, revealing a wide diversity that can be used to select genotypes with higher yield and quality Im...
The study conducts a comprehensive review of the use of predictive models to strengthen food security in Latin America, with an emphasis on Colombia. It analyzes 65 studies published between 2014 and 2024 that apply algorithms such as Random Forests and Neural Networks to anticipate agricultural yields, manage climate risks, and optimize resources. The results show that agricultural, climatic, and...
6 tons per hectare exceeds Iniap seed varieties, compared to the national average of 4.8 tons (Redacción El Universo, 2025).

This study evaluates the spatial distribution of cadmium (Cd) in soils cultivated with avocado (Persea americana) in different regions of Peru, identifying factors that influence its concentration, such as texture, pH, organic matter, and agricultural practices. It was determined that several areas have elevated levels of Cd, which represents a risk to food safety and exports, especially given the...
51% of global investment in research and development corresponds to North America and Europe, while Asia represents 39%, leaving only the remaining 10% for other regions including Latin America, according to UNESCO data (2021) (Velásquez, A., 2025).
